The Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales is one of the latest regular production cigars (2017) released by Habanos SA under this brand. The Caprichos size responds perfectly to the market demand for a short smoke. However, contrary to what one might expect, the ring gauge of this cigar is under 50, therefore less than that of a Robusto. It is sold in 25-count Semi Plain Boxes and 3-count cardboard packs.
Visually it is wrapped in a bright wrapper, almost always with a Colorado shade, with dark reflections. The leaf is relatively smooth to the touch—nothing to report for construction and filling.

Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales: the cold draw reveals floral and wood aromas, both of good intensity.
Once lit, the smoke is rather sweet, with distinctly vegetal notes followed by less intense aromas of wood and spices. Strength is medium (3/5).
In the central section, the cigar loses part of the initial sweetness to accommodate a salty nuance. Metallic, earthy, and woody characters, all of equal intensity, make up the flavor profile. Strength remains medium (3/5).
In conclusion, this Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales is not your usual stubby short cigar. Composed and balanced from the first to the last puff, with appreciable flavors. Despite the length of the cigar, even the evolution is noteworthy, bringing a lively change of pace from the first to the second half of smoke.
